Consumer health: activities & latest developments

In the field of consumer health, the EDQM coordinates the activities of two Steering Committees covering cosmetics and food contact materials. These activities contribute to the protection of consumers by establishing health standards that ensure the safety of cosmetics and food contact materials across the continent.

This Committee is currently focusing on ensuring participation of national OCCLs in its pan-European network and is expanding further its database of test results for childcare and children cosmetics. It is also working on the safety of tattoos by proposing recommendations on safety measures.
